Jurors are randomly selected and summonsed from driver license records, the Department of Revenue, and voter registration lists by means of a computerized method. To ensure your name and address are correct on your juror summons, you will need to update your personal information with all of these agencies.

1. Colorado Department of Revenue-Division of Motor Vehicles
2. Department of Revenue
3. Colorado Secretary of State-Voter Registration

Qualifying situations to update your information:

If you have moved out of state and have registered to vote with your current state you will need to withdrawal from the Colorado Secretary of State-Voter Registration to avoid further jury summonses in the state of Colorado. Registering to vote and voting in the new state will not withdrawal you from Colorado Voter Registration.

If you have married and/or changed your legal name you will need to update your name with these agencies to avoid duplicate summonses with different names (i.e., Mary Joe Smith to Mary Joe Smith-Lang). Variation of names with these agencies can cause you to receive more than one summons a year because the system does not recognize it is the same person.

No, children are not allowed to attend jury service. Many jury trials include exhibits or testimony not appropriate for children.

You will never be asked for your social security number by email or over the phone. You will never be required to wire money or gift cards to avoid immediate arrest. If you have received a call requesting anything you feel may be a scam, please contact your local law enforcement agency.

The legal qualifications for jury service are:

• You are a citizen of the United States.
• You are 18 years of age or older.
• You can read, speak, and understand the English language.
• You reside in the State of Colorado for at least 6 months of the year.
• You have not served on a jury in any court within the past 12 months.
• You are not a primary caregiver responsible for the daily care of a permanently disabled person living in the same household and do not work outside of the home. This does not include working and residing in a home where you are an employee of an outside agency. A current statement from a licensed physician or physician assistant authorized under C.R.S. 12-240-107(6), licensed advanced nurse practitioner, or authorized Christian Science practitioner is required.
• You do not have a physical or mental disability that would prevent you from serving as a juror. A current statement from a licensed physician or physician assistant authorized under C.R.S. 12-240-107(6), licensed advanced nurse practitioner, or authorized Christian Science practitioner is required.
• Exemptions are not based on profession, employment status, enrollment in school, financial situation, religious affiliation, or age—except that all jurors must be at least 18 years old.
